Grade 3 Trombone

Stage

Mark an ABRSM Grade 3 Trombone exam

Our graded music exams generally consist of three pieces, chosen by the candidate from the appropriate lists in the current syllabus, as well as scales & arpeggios, sight-reading and aural tests. In each Practical exam 150 marks are available. 100 marks are required to achieve a pass, 120 marks to pass with merit, and 130 marks to pass with distinction.

You can watch and assess each element of this Grade 3 Trombone exam in any order, but you will need to watch them all to find out the candidate's overall result. After watching each element, you will be asked what level you think the candidate achieved using our assessment criteria as reference. Our Chief Examiner, John Holmes, will then provide his analysis of the performance.

We hope this resource will help you understand how ABRSM exams are assessed and what our examiners are looking for in a performance.
